COMP 499 Conversational Artificial Intelligence (4 credits) – Section X
Prerequisite: COMP 432 (machine learning) or permission of the instructor.
This course introduces key concepts related to Conversation AI, covering both theoretical and practical aspects. The lectures will provide a general overview on modern conversational AI systems. The review covers basic machine learning concepts used in Conversational AI, including speech processing techniques. The course will address language models, which are an essential part of modern conversational AI methods. The course also covers higher-level methods such as spoken language understanding and dialogue systems. For each topic addressed during the lecture, a corresponding lab session allows students to familiarize themselves with the practical implementation of the techniques mentioned during the main lecture. The lectures are designed to provide a complete overview of the field of Conversational. A project is required.
Component(s): Lecture 3 hours per week;
Laboratory 2 hours per week

SOEN 498 Emerging Technologies in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) (3 credits) – Section H
This course introduces students to the different aspects of HCI, including visualization, display devices, interaction paradigms and frameworks, and evaluation methods. Once students have been introduced to fundamental HCI models and frameworks, we will focus on the current landscape of mobile, immersive, and ubiquitous computing, discussing which models can be effectively applied, and which new devices and technologies require novel solutions. Students will learn to apply, analyze, and evaluate different HCI methodologies, as well as design and test novel visualization, display and/or interaction methods for user-specific tasks or novel devices.
